We have a CISC F50 going to RISC 620 within next 2 months.  CISC
currently has 20GB with raid protection, 150 user Novell LAN/WAN with NT
mail and database servers and Win 3.1 clients (going to '95/NT combo in
'98).  We use Infinium software (just about all modules), TL Ashford Bar
Code, IBM's FAX/400.  We manufacture our own products in three locations
in the U.S. (parent company is based out of Germany).  We have very few
terminals, most are PCs with NetSoft emulation (80-100).  Using Commence
on NT server for Sales and planning on Lotus Notes/Domino in '98.  Would
be most interested in participating and sharing in your staffing study.
